ing Childers. Dungannon was by Eclipse, from Aspasia, 

 by Herod. His son Phantom won the Derby in 1811 ; 

 and St. Patrick, another son, the Leger in 1 820. Phan- 

 tom (foaled in 1808) was a bay horse ; his dam was Julia 

 (sister to Eleanor), got by Whiskey out of Sorcerer's 

 dam, by Diomed, who was a grandson of Herod. 

 Whiskey was by Saltram, from Calash, by Herod. Sal-

 from Web, by Waxy (more Darley Arabian blood, but 

 also with an infusion of the Godolphins). However, we 

 must now proceed to look at Partisan, the son of Wal- 

 ton, who handed down the line to the present time. He

 by PotSos (son of Eclipse, great-grandson of Bartlet 

 Childers, son of the Darley Arabian), her dam Prunella, 

 by Highflyer (son of Herod), whose dam was by Blaze 

 (son of Flying Childers, son of the Darley Arabian), 

 from Promise, by Snap (grandson of Flying Childers). 

 I will merely mention that his son Mameluke, whose
